INNOVATIVE, SUSTAINABLE TECH SOFTWARE COMES
TO THE UK: INTRODUCING INFRASPEAK
Infraspeak, a powerful and multi-award winning
platform oΠering fully customisable, sustainable
technology for the hospitality industry, has
launched in the UK this year.
New to the UK but certainly not to the industry,
Infraspeak currently supports 180 customers
in seven countries, counting brands such as Six
Senses, InterContinental and Sheraton Hotels as
clients. Managing 18,000 buildings, this innovative
brand’s goal is to streamline facilities management
for the UK hospitality industry through dedicated
customer service and easy to use desktop and
mobile interfaces.
Infraspeak heralds a new age in facility
management. Founded by Felipe Ávila da Costa and
Luís Martins in Portugal four years ago they have
developed a modular platform that automates, and
simplifies the process of facilities management. The
platform uses innovative technologies such as NFC,
APIs, apps and sensors, bringing benefits such as
time saving for both management and technicians
and cost saving with sustainable benefits including
less stress, less paper and lower costs.
64 JUNE 2019
As a modular and flexible management so‚ ware,
Infraspeak allows customers to build their own
solution. This diverse technology can manage
technical operations: from maintenance to quality
audits, stock, purchases, housekeeping, inventory,
and more in a simple and e€ icient easy to manage
system which can be used across departments.
Felipe Ávila da Costa, CEO of Infraspeak said:
“We are proud to work with high profile, time poor
clients from all over the world and make their work
and lives significantly easier with our so‚ ware. Our
DORMAKABA ATTENDING IFSEC INTERNATIONAL
Leading security and
access solutions provider
dormakaba will be
attending Europe’s leading
integrated security event
– IFSEC International,
taking place at the ExCel
in London from the 18–20
June. dormakaba will
be showcasing its new
patented key system Kaba
20 and its innovative EXIVO
system.
Visitors to the dormakaba stand will learn more about the Kaba 20 Long
Life Patent Protected Master Key System. Its cylinder design that is precision
engineered to precise tolerances, incorporates up to 22 pins arranged radially
to give a high degree of protection against surreptitious manipulation. The
unique milled key is strictly controlled, with duplicate keys only available from
the factory with a pre-agreed authorisation process – giving the user complete
confidence in the integrity of their locking system.
The new patent for Kaba 20 key blanks, keys, and its functionality is valid until
2033, proving its strength and durability within industrial applications.
Also being presented at the show will be dormakaba’s EXIVO system, a new
cloud based access control system. Fully scalable, it is a cost e‡ ective solution
for small and medium sized businesses as it provides a complete security and
access control system paid on a price per door basis.
Finally, a range of dormakaba padlocks will be live attack tested to
demonstrate their excellent security credentials to BRE/LPCB standard.

CONDAIR ME HELPS EDPAC COOL AT CIX
The Condair ME evaporative
humidifier is providing
adiabatic cooling in
an innovative indirect
cooling system from
EDPAC at the Cork Internet
Exchange (CIX) in Ireland.
EDPAC’s indirect air-to-air
evaporative cooling system
will be maintaining the
temperature across CIX’s
data halls without using any
chillers and with 75% less
energy than a traditionally
cooled data centre.
The EDPAC air handling system cools without chillers by creating two
airstreams; one internal and one external. The internal airstream circulates air to
and from the data halls and the external airstream draws in, then vents, ambient
outside air. Both airstreams pass through a series of heat exchangers to transfer
cool thermal energy from the external to the internal airstream, without either
physically mixing.
In order to boost the cooling capacity of the system, and keep the data halls at
24°C all year round, evaporative cooling is used to reduce the temperature of the
external airstream below that of the ambient outdoor air. A series of Condair ME
evaporative humidifiers are located in the walls around a penthouse ventilation
area, created across the top storey of the building. As air is drawn into the
building through louvres, it passes through these Condair MEs, before entering
the penthouse ventilation area where the EDPAC AHUs are located.

aim is to modernise a predominantly paper-based
industry and o€ er our clients flexible so‚ ware that
is bespoke to their needs.
“Launching Infraspeak in the UK and getting to
know more about the routine operations in the UK,
is an excellent opportunity to improve our platform
and an important step to grow in more markets. We
are only looking to expand further and develop our
client portfolio across the globe.”
How is it sustainable?
Eighty per cent of hotel administration is largely
paper-based and excel is most commonly used
to run all hospitality maintenance. Infraspeak
completely removes the need for paper as all
facilities management can be logged and traced to
completion through the so‚ ware.
In addition, Infraspeak’s intelligent so‚ ware uses
data to start to predict problems in advance, rather
than simply reacting to issues when they arise.
This predictive approach to maintenance means
Infraspeak saves time, money and resources with a
sustainable and e€ icient approach.
